Notes:
This note presents a coordinate frame representation for the conservation laws governing fluid motion in a helical configuration as suggested by a single-screw extruder with deep flights and by the Kenics Static Mixer. This example demonstrates the care necessary in dealing with nonorthogonal coordinate systems. The conservation equations are also presented in terms of the proper physical components, as well as the physical components of the rate of deformation tensor. The paper closes with a brief statement of the boundary conditions for flow in a static mixer.
